My Horror Movie

[The Joker_1000]

Well maybe you need a little more life experience. Because I guarantee sometime in the future something is going to scare the living piss out of you whether it be a college professor or bill collectors. You just really need to open yourself up.

Get yourself in touch with all different types of art including paintings, photography, drawings, anything that can help stimulate your imagination. It's essential to any writer. Art is the finest food for the mind.

Well, I guess I could try to expose myself to different kinds of art & stuff like that. I think that something else that could help would be to watch other villains in action, even if they aren't serial killers.

Have we talked before? What's your problem.

No, but I've seen you around the forums & you act like this with everyone.

Buy and study books on criminology. Don't rely too much on already created villains for the silver screen. You want the makeup of your characters to be as organic as possible. You need to be comfortable enough to call these characters your own without feeling like you've ripped someone else off.

I just like to point out things that are obvious. Jake Jacobson is a highly un-original and silly sounding name. You're not writing a 60's comic book.

As for the rest of the story, it doesn't really make sense. He randomly snaps and kills some classmates and some of his family? Then after he breaks out he meets up with an inmate who makes him go crazy? How exactly does he do that?

I understand this is just a vague synopsis of what you wanted to write. But it had no point to it. You just took a bunch of horror movies and jammed them into one incoherent mess. Have a point to what you're writing, like someone said have a theme. Ask yourself why, why are these things happening.

If you can't make your story sound compelling in a paragraph or two, you won't be able to make it compelling in 100 pages.

And don't be such a jerk... unless your name is Jake Jacobson, in which case I apologize.

This smells too much like Halloween.

What an original comment.

I like the name & I want to keep it. Unless I hear a name I like better, I'll keep it. And no, that is not my real name.

I never said he randomly kills him, Jake suffers from a lot of mental & physical abuse which, in the original story, drove him over the edge. Btw, I said when he escapes, he runs into an inmate who is completely crazy & is trying to start a fight. Eventually, Jake ends up killing him & a lot of other people. The guy is already crazy, I never said that is what made him crazy, just that he ended up killing a lot of people.

Just let him do his movie.
If people like it then good,if they don't...then they don't

 

[The Joker_1000]

Well, yeah, that's true, but I want to create something that the majority of the people are going to like. I would hate it if my film was helmed as a rip-off of classic horror movie villains.

Ill take Norman Bates advice and go buy and study books on criminology.

Well, since there's a 99% chance that this movie will not ever see the light of day, I guess you're right.

Go my child, make thy film. By the way, a good name for the main cop could be Robert Robertson.

99.99% chance. Cops partner should be Carl Carlson.

See now i agree with you.

I was going for a different partner there. But wait there might be a movie in that! Two beat cops become partners, then lovers, brought together by their pain and personal anguish from their oh so uncreative names, until fate steps in and they find a kid on the streets. Finding out he has an uncreative name they take him in and love him like there own. The son then grows up and finds the love of his life, Jen Jennings.

But Jen has a secret, her mentally disabled cousin Harry Harilson raped her one day many years ago. She had all but forgotten it the day that Petey found her. But, then Harry wanted back into her life. After a struggle, Petey accidently kills Harry in an effort to save Jen, they run away together. On their journey they find a house owned by the Johnson family, John, Jane, and little Johnny.The family takes them in like they were their own. Unaware of their sordid past.
Robert and Carl are put as leads in the investigation of Harry's death and the clues will soon lead them to their precious son and the horror that he has commited.
But then Harry's father Harvey Harilson demands information on his son's killer.He then follows the same path, leading directly to Petey Peterson.

That has got to be the best thing I've ever read! haha. I think we should move this movie into pre-production. And you didnt need to ask a thousand people what you should be writing!

I guess Vegeta is done with this thread..

I have a headache reading those last few posts. The names!!

Okay, I'm creating this thread so that people can give me constructive criticism.

Well, my idea is about a boy named Jake Jacobson who has three sisters; Michelle, Ashley, & his youngest sister Torrie. His sister Michelle & his mother are generally very nice to him while his sister Ashley & his father would regularly pick on him. One day, Jake ended up murdering a fellow classmate & his father & sister which caused him to be institutionalized. Seventeen years later, an inmate breaks out & lets out everyone else as well. Jake runs into another inmate who pisses him off & causes him to go on a rampage, killing anyone he sees. He makes it back home where he seeks to reunite with his sister & mother & he even finds out that his mother has given birth to another son who is seven-eight years old. To get away from the madness, Jake's mother originally moved to another part of town & changed her last name. Well, while attempting to reunite with his family he is soon shot to death at the end of the movie & at the very end, before the credits roll, his hand rises from the grave, signifying that he is in fact alive.

Now, my original idea behind this movie was to not include his mother or sister anymore after the first movie & to include his brother in which after his brother grows up they have this big ass fight in which they both end up in Hell where the Devil tells them that the winner will be sent back to Earth.

The original person I wanted for this role was Tyler Mane who I actually got a chance to talk to on Myspace but he said my idea was too similar to Halloween so I'm seeking ways to change the story a little so that I can advance & get it made soon.

First of all, what is the point of this ... Even if someone did have an idea for you, they would keep it for themselves since it is their idea.

Your idea is pretty much Halloween, and impossible to repair...

Good... Luck???
